Work Experience at Bennington Green

DORSET based Bennington Green were delighted to welcome a student for work experience last week.

PRLog - Nov. 13, 2012 - Oliver Gristwood from Bournemouth School shadowed the staff to learn a little more about ‘a day in the life of’ Building Surveyors, Quantity Surveyors and Civil Engineers.

Nigel Soloman, Managing Director of Bennington Green and Governor at Parkstone Grammar School said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Ollie to the team – albeit very briefly.

It's always a pleasure to welcome the future generation into the company and with the experienced but fun staff we have at Bennington Green, it’s a good place to learn the ropes.

Ollie, who is 17 is currently studying towards his A levels in Biology, Geography and ICT.

Nigel added: “I hope that we at Bennington Green have managed to enlighten him a little and give him some idea of what it’s like to work in a vibrant property consultancy – and I hope we haven’t put him off!”

Bennington Green can offer an extensive range of services from their Dorset and London offices and are happy to show students who are considering going down the Surveying or Civil Engineering route what it’s like.
